With this register key, you see your scanner or Camera on your desktop when you connect it with the USB cable ;)

I'm using this tweak to turn off the screensaver :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

The problem is that it's completely disabled. The option is grey out so i have no way to turn it on later if i want. How to turn it off only (just put the selection on "none") ?

Thank you.

That registry section you posted looks like you went to a lot of trouble. :P The CLSID and all.....

; Disable Autorun
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]
"AutoRun"=dword:00000000

; disable Autorun for all Drive Types
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091

It is far simpler. This is what I use, and I believe I put it into the regtweaks in the first-post of this thread as well. (If I did not, pardon me, lol).

Has anyone been able to find the registry tweak to disable the "Customer Experience" program in MSN Messenger (NOT Office 2003)?

Edit: I found it but it appears to be on a per user basis.

HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\SQM","OptInRefCount",%REG_DWORD%,0x00000000
HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\SQM","1475624578",%REG_DWORD%,0xffffffff

Note: That number isn't mine... It's just an example. The number is 10 digits long so you would need to figure your number out first.

It appears as though the number stays the same (even after reinstalls).

Edit2: Yep, the number stays the same. The number is the identification number of your passport. Check the registry for your number.

I've got a slight problem with the start menu, and specificly the list of recently ran programs. Somehow, after applying the tweaks, this list just stays empty. Has anyone encountered this before or knows the solution to this?

Should be this then:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

I have always been annoyed at the start point of Explore when right-clicking the Start Button going to C:\Documents and Settings\"UserID"\Start Menu, so I added this "Explore from C:\" selection to the Start Button right-click menu:

;Add "Explore from C:\" to Start Button right click menu
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ExploreFromC]
@="Explore from C:\\"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ExploreFromC\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\explorer.exe /e,/n,C:\\"
